YThis is my issue, average players..

Bro there are other transfer windows for that, we have bigger issues in the team, the deal will only make sense, if we are able to ship out either one of telles or Shaw at a reasonable price... wanbisakka and dalot is a calamity, there is a reason we don't ever attack from the right side and we clog the left side of the pitch
Abeg stop already. Are you not tired of big name players and so called EPL proven players who have joined us and failed?

See you complaining of Malacia like WTF! You are not tired of Shaw and Telles? One of them will definitely leave...

Is that what you deduced from my response? Lmao

Look, all fingers are not equal. Ronaldo has a standard of success and that standard is simply not being met by Man United. Let that player not named Ronaldo set his own standard of success first.

Look at the situation from Ronaldo’s perspective.

United plans to use a 38yr old throughout next season as their striker.
• United does not have one defensive midfielder in the senior team.
• United has not replaced any player that left.
• United has gone from a Champions League club to Europa League regular patronizers.
• United used to play around 1st or 2nd position regularly, at worse, 3rd. Now, coming 4th is acceptable BeCauSe tHey aRe reBuIlding.
• One of UCL, EPL, and FA Cup used to be considered the minimum standard, now just any cup will do, no matter how small or flat it is.


With the way last season ended, one would think that United will go about their business vigorously this summer, but here we are.

When you’re obsessed with success, there are things you simply will not permit.

N.B. EPL is less than a month away.
Ronaldo will definitely want to be the main starter so how will you say he'd be disappointed if the club relies on him? We have other options who can fill in especially against weak opponents...

The other points about replacing players, we are after FDJ to replace Pogba and from information available, the deal has not been concluded because Barca are obligated to pay FDJ money they owe him before he can leave.

Eriksen is joining us to replace Mata and we are after Lisandro who can slot in at DM or play the LCB position effortlessly. From the look of things, Arsenal have cooled their interest paving the way for us...

Malacia has been signed to provide competition for Shaw with Telles likely to be sold...We have put in a bid for Antony. I believe we will sign both Lisandro and Antony...

Do not forget that VDB will be coming back to play under a coach and system he excelled in whilst in Ajax.

How can you have all the above information and still say we are not making effort to improve or replace departing players?

If anything, Ronaldo leaving at this point rather complicates things for us as I don't think a CF was part of the plan this summer. It is reported that we have 200m to spend and from what we have done or are trying to do, FDJ + Malacia = 100m
Antony + Lisandro = 100m

Unless we make money off player sales or Ronaldo leaves I don't see us going after a striker as it was never on the cards...

Why won't he ask to leave, when many of you accused him of being responsible for all the problems of the world last season. You all should be happy he wants to leave, sebi Maguire will become a beast of a defender now, Rashford and Martial will start scoring for fun and McFred will turn prime Scholes/Keane combo when Ronaldo leaves. All Ronaldo haters should find a new hubby cool...
Is Ronaldo the most criticized Man Utd player? Hell No! So, why the fuss?

Shaw, Maguire, Rashford, Bruno, Martial, De Gea, Fred and others have been criticized even when they have had good moments in the past so, why are you perturbed now that your fav is being criticized?

That's how Bruno fanboys used to try to silence those who asked that Bruno improves but since Ronaldo joined, majority have jumped on the Ronaldo bandwagon hence you can criticize Bruno here and still be alive a minute later...

Ronaldo should please leave. I can imagine a scenario where you lots will turn on ETH for benching Ronaldo especially if he starts throwing tantrums via his sister and agent...Ronaldo for all he has achieved is not bigger than Man Utd...

I have not seen any holding midfielder linked to United, abi De Jong will play CM and HM together. ETH is playing with fire if he thinks De Jong and Erikson only will solve our midfield problem, we need a very good HM to play with Erikson or De Jong (if he eventually joins).
Lisandro can effectively play that position if he joins...

No. easily sell to where? with the high wages he'll get as a free agent? he's a definite NO for me. he has regressed badly. I would have thought we've learnt our lessons signing players like that.
Regressed badly? After just a season where he struggled?

I remember I suggested we sign Ings a couple of years back but some of us here were against the move, the same Ings that moved to Southampton and was very good...

To sign a player of Dybala's quality, you'll need to cough out at least 50m so, if we sign him on a wages of 200-250k for 3 yrs I wouldn't mind...

There's a general dearth of quality attacking players in the market so, I'd rather we sign Dybala than nothing...

NB: I rather we sign Antony but if we don't, then Dybala will be an upgrade on what we have currently as I am not sure Amad and Pellestri are ready to step up and Greenwood is still not training with the team while Sancho seems to favor the LW position.

"Paulo Dybala's agents are discussing with Manchester United", per the reliable Di Marzio.

Dybala to Utd, YES or NO?
YES...

We need more players who are comfortable with the ball at their feet. He will be joining on a free so, if he flops we can easily sell him.

The problem now is where he will play because as a RWF he will spend most of the time drifting into the AMF space thus we have to have a very explosive RB else our RW will be dead...

All these things are just stories, Maguire should have gladly gave the captaincy to CR7, there is no excuse for them to perform, they should be happy they have CR7 as a motivator in the team, dude tried his best for the team scoring 18 PL goals, scores important goals in UCL, most of his goals came on stoppage time to earn a point or save the club from embarrassing defeats.
Who wouldn't love to have CR7 in his team.

I still maintain my stance, the current Man Utd team/squad don't deserve CR7.

Maguire with a whole Captain band was just running aimlessly within his own half, a complete mediocre with £80Million price Tag.

Sancho, Rashford, Pogba were just being there on big weekly wages, doing nothing special.

Paul Pogba is gone for free, I don't even feel it.

Kudos to David D'Gea despite poor defence, till manage to save over 100 goal-bound shots fired from all angles throughout the season.
How convenient to put a player ahead of the club. Did he dribble his way to score the 18 goals? Was he not supported by others?

Last 2 seasons you guys clamoured for Sancho berating the board whenever possible but what difference did Sancho make when he was signed last season? Varane?

I don't believe Varane is all of a sudden bad neither do I believethesame Sancho we watched at Dortmund is trash. In De Gea, Varane, VDB, Bruno, Eriksen (As good as done), Sancho etc We have a good crop of players while the likes of Rasford, Martial, Dalot and Shaw (Malacia) are not entirely useless.

We still trying to get FDJ, Lisandro and prolly Antony. If we get all of them then it's a very successful summer. If Ronaldo had made it clear he was leaving from the get-go, I am certain we wouldhave been in for any of Nunez/Haaland/Nkunku etc. Personally I want Ronaldo gone just so ETH has full controll of the dressing room...

Tbh the club hasn't even done anything yet to make Ronaldo look bad. The salary you're talking about is not a secret, the 25% salary reduction is not a secret as well, an average Joe knows this.

It's Ronaldo and his camp that's wants to create unnecessary drama and put us back in search of a striker in an almost strikerless market.
Gbam!

I understand the desperation from fans but still we should exercise some patience...We don't have the UCL to offer so, it's a lot difficult to bring in top players...If we must sign a top player at the speed some of you want, we'd have had to overpay but now the club is taking their time to negotiate a deal that's fair, they still get a lot of slack...

If we go by our clamour as fans here, Sancho was supposed to solve our RW problems but we're still not sure if he is that guy. If the board didn't buy Sancho, I am sure we wouldn't have heard the last of it here...The same applies to Varane...

We will definitely sign a midfielder or two. Lisandro will be joining us next and he can comfortably play as a DM, we have also sign Eriksen who can do a job as a CM or as an AM in any case Bruno is out of form...

Even if De Jong doesn't come, a midfield of Lisandro, VDB/Bruno and Eriksen is an improvement on McFred...

Slowly but surely we are making progress...

Apart from KdB, Rodri, Ederson and Ruben Diaz and to some degree Cancelo, no other player in the team is a guaranteed starter - not even Mahrez that scored the most goals last season. Just support your 2nd team Chelsea with your full chest and stop pretending to be neutral.

However, you and I will gain economically, educationally, etc... when we vote the man that have a better plan for the masses, and not for himself and his gangs.

That being said, vote whoever you want, nobody is asking you to vote for PO. Also, voting for PO is not doing favour to the Igbos. If he's good, you and I will enjoy it, if he turns out to be bad, all of us will suffer it still.

No. I read that he was disgusted with Telles after the last game of last season and didn’t want him at all. Telles is actually not back in training yet.

We have been linked to Malacia for over a month but obviously could not get him at a good price.

Combination of FDJ fee being agreed and Lyon getting him at a fair price gave us the opportunity to hijack the deal.
Prior to the deal, I hadn't heard of Malacia before the deal though...I am just happy that we are strengthening especially the areas of obvious weakness...
